A gluten-free diet is a completely gluten-free food. Eating a gluten-free diet means strictly abstaining from foods containing wheat bran, such as pasta, pizza, beer, oats, cheese, sandwiches, and even exquisite foods such as sauces, bread, biscuits and cakes, and buying foods marked gluten-free instead of potatoes, corn, vegetables, meat, beans, nuts, preserved eggs, seafood and rice.

Gluten-free diet is mainly used to treat celiac disease patients because these patients are allergic to gluten. However, at the beginning of 2 1 century, gluten-free diet has set off the trend of European and American food circles. With the blessing of Hollywood stars and athletes, topics and controversies continue, even being labeled as slimming, which has become the secret of celebrity slimming.

Excluded food

Gluten, also known as gluten, is a kind of protein obtained by removing starch from wheat and other grains.

1, people who follow a gluten-free diet can't eat any food made of wheat, rye or barley, such as cakes.

2. Some processed foods, such as soy sauce and pie fillings, usually contain gluten unless otherwise specified. Therefore, gluten-free dieters who are worried about food ingredients had better choose fresh ingredients.

In drinks, beer should be avoided first. Although products made from barley and malt contain gluten, most alcoholic beverages (beer is fermented from wheat and red wine is not fermented from wine) and non-alcoholic beverages do not contain this ingredient.

Cereals

Buckwheat, corn, potato flour, rice, arrowroot, sweet potato and soybean are some common gluten-free foods.

At the beginning of the 20th century, more and more cereal cakes, biscuits and cereal foods contain no gluten, so they are suitable for everyone.

There is much controversy about whether oats are suitable for gluten-free dieters. Although pure oats contain no gluten, most of them are actually related to wheat in some way, so it is not easy to find.

dairy produce

Most dairy products are gluten-free except for some cheese, flavored milk and custard. Unless batter or over-processing is used.

Edible meat

Meat products also contain no gluten. But meat pies, frozen meat and chicken soup usually contain some form of gluten, so it is best to avoid eating them.

Fruits and vegetables

Fruits, vegetables and nuts are natural gluten-free foods unless seasonings or starch are added. Nowadays, more and more canned fruits and vegetables are added with flour, but the ingredient label may not always be indicated. To avoid this problem, buying branded products with detailed labels can ensure that you can buy gluten-free food.

condiment

Except vinegar, almost all condiments are gluten-free, including tomato sauce, sesame sauce, maple syrup and many salad dressings. Herbs and spices are also acceptable gluten-free foods unless gluten-containing artificial ingredients are added.
